        Same, but at the end of the day, we’re all just humans trying to figure out how to do our human stuff and feel kinda ok about ourselves. I don’t at all mean to be dismissive of queer-identifiers, but I do think that’s one of the less important facets of this post. Not unimportant to be clear - it’s just that I personally feel 100% of everything there, save for the fact that at this point in my life I’m quite confident I’m just not at all into the male form, in an intimate sense.

      Huh, so the “cishet ADHD person that just happens to keep ending up in overwhelmingly-LGBTQ+ friend groups” thing isn’t just me? Interesting…

          One of my childhood best friends transitioned and another came out as bi. I think a lot of it is just that people with ADHD and/or on the spectrum tend to get along really well with other ADHD/spectrum people. Since those traits heavily overlap with also being LGBTQ+, those who don’t fall into that overlap end up making friends in their youth with a lot of people who eventually come out later once they figure themselves out.
